Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Neuroscience
  • Gene
  • Neuron

Mriganka Sur mainly investigates Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Anatomy, Receptive field and Stimulus. His Neuroscience study often links to related topics such as Postsynaptic potential. Mriganka Sur combines subjects such as Electrophysiology, Sensory deprivation and Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Excitatory postsynaptic potential with his study of Visual cortex.

His Anatomy research includes themes of Progenitor cell, Visual system, Synapse maturation and Cortex. His study in Receptive field is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pinwheel and Neuron. His studies in Stimulus integrate themes in fields like Adaptive change, Striate cortex, Surround suppression, Visual perception and In vivo.

His most cited work include:

  • Topographic reorganization of somatosensory cortical areas 3b and 1 in adult monkeys following restricted deafferentation (877 citations)
  • An emergent model of orientation selectivity in cat visual cortical simple cells (805 citations)
  • PROGRESSION OF CHANGE FOLLOWING MEDIAN NERVE SECTION IN THE CORTICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE HAND IN AREAS 3b AND 1 IN ADULT OWL AND SQUIRREL MONKEYS (649 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Anatomy, Cortex and Sensory system. Neuroscience is represented through his Lateral geniculate nucleus, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential, Receptive field, Excitatory postsynaptic potential and Thalamus research. He focuses mostly in the field of Lateral geniculate nucleus, narrowing it down to matters related to NMDA receptor and, in some cases, Postsynaptic potential.

Mriganka Sur has researched Excitatory postsynaptic potential in several fields, including Glutamate receptor, Electrophysiology and Astrocyte. In his study, Spatial frequency is inextricably linked to Visual perception, which falls within the broad field of Visual cortex. His Anatomy research incorporates themes from Cerebral cortex, Somatosensory system and Posterior parietal cortex.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Neuroscience (77.21%)
  • Visual cortex (40.74%)
  • Anatomy (17.38%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Neuroscience (77.21%)
  • Visual cortex (40.74%)
  • Electroencephalography (3.13%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Neuroscience, Visual cortex, Electroencephalography, Artificial intelligence and Pattern recognition. His study in Synaptic plasticity extends to Neuroscience with its themes. His work carried out in the field of Visual cortex brings together such families of science as Sensory system, Excitatory postsynaptic potential, Microscopy, Visual perception and Visual field.

His Electroencephalography study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Subspace topology, Biometrics, Speaker recognition, Speech recognition and Task analysis. Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Artificial neural network under Pattern recognition, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Signal. His Stimulus research focuses on Posterior parietal cortex and how it relates to Task engagement, Visual discrimination and Motor commands.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Induction of Expansion and Folding in Human Cerebral Organoids (175 citations)
  • MeCP2-regulated miRNAs control early human neurogenesis through differential effects on ERK and AKT signaling. (104 citations)
  • Active control of arousal by a locus coeruleus GABAergic circuit (81 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Neuroscience
  • Gene
  • Neuron

Mriganka Sur spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Visual cortex, MECP2, Synaptic plasticity and Perception. His Neuroscience research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Matrix and Calcium imaging. He integrates many fields in his works, including Visual cortex and Materials science.

The concepts of his MECP2 study are interwoven with issues in Neurogenesis, Regulation of gene expression, Protein kinase B and Rett syndrome. His research integrates issues of AMPA receptor, Long-term potentiation, Neurotransmission and Hebbian theory in his study of Synaptic plasticity. His Perception research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stimulus, Motor commands, Posterior parietal cortex and Task engagement.
